Bab 2201: Duels

Izaak's loss was highly unexpected, but it did little to shake Xavier and his Magus army. The disciplined warriors remained steadfast, their confidence seemingly unshaken by the turn of events. Meanwhile, Izaak, having received some healing treatment, regained consciousness. He cast a lingering gaze at Emery, filled with a mixture of respect and curiosity. It was clear that there were many questions he wished to ask, but the announcement of the third duel cut their silent exchange short, forcing them back to their respective sides.

As Emery returned, Grand Magus Hassa greeted him with a warm compliment. "Well done," Emery's actions had significantly improved his standing among the Karat magus forces and even some of the elders who had been skeptical of him. The victory had not only secured a crucial point for Hassa's side but also boosted morale among the troops.
